LONDONWhen Richard Moore became head of Britain's secret intelligence service MI6 in October 2020, he marked the occasion uniquely by announcing his arrival with a tweet and an emoji, a first for a top British spy.

Moore, who recently spoke about international relations, underscored the importance of trust between allies in today's turbulent world. He highlighted the close cultural ties and shared worldview that make Britain and Japan natural partners. The discussion also touched on the broader geopolitical context involving China and Russia.

This perspective reflects ongoing efforts to strengthen alliances amid complex global dynamics.
